offset

an experiment in shifting time signatures.

january 2024, no. 2

forming up

wanted to play with some percussion again, as it had been a while since i focused on it. turned out to be quite fun, i think.

january 2024

a wander in the woods

playing around with a new string sample library, which has solo instruments! yay!

really though, trying to remind myself that i can in fact just write plain jane harmony parts - i don’t need to blaze a new trail and make things sound super unique.

overall, really happy with this one.

the two-against-three (left hand vs right hand) feel in the piano is fun.

forced myself to write lower in the trumpet range (could have gone lower), as i tend to write trumpet parts in the upper half of the staff, if not higher. i’m sure trumpet players love that…

july - WIP

trumpet work in progress. missed putting something up in june, but this one started then.

May 2023 - the second one

a quality of malice

oooooo, this one kinda works together with one i wrote in april (with some editing)! total coincidence.

a quality of tension

boy does the default staffpad vocal sample library leave much to be desired, esp. compared to the other defaults. need to buy something better soon.
